to rise it is pummelled again and again by
old Jupiter Pluvius, until 1t is reduced
permanently to total wreck. There can
be no drouth in Texas this season capable
of doing any harm. The moisture already
in the ground is sufficient to insure q
bourteoUs crop, and people VINO once
lost faith can now take heart and believe
II the future greatness of Texas. 1t
is 6 fac: which each succeeding
year demonstrates, that the rain belt
moves westward every year and that the
rainfall increases as the country is opened
up. II the practice would become gen.
ersl of planting trees in North and West
Texas the question of en- abundance Of
rain would soon be settled. Tarrant
county has been visited by one of the
most splendid rains of the season, and
the choking dust has once more been
driven under foot. Other counties around
have also been blessed with fine showers,
so that the question is no longer Of max
ing crop, but of saving it.

AFTER THE CITY THIEVES.
another Set of BoodIers to be Unearthed
the City of Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL, July "A local paper
says this morning that the States Attor-
ney is preparing to descend upon the city
boodlers, and that the cases are in such
shape that they may be started before the
county matter is disposed of. The article
asserts that ex-Warden McGarigle stands
ready to disclose all he knows,
and he claims he is in possession
Of facts which, once made public in court,
would send from twenty to twenty-five OF
the city boodlers to Joliet. He claims he
was consulted ebout every deal made and
IS, perhaps, better posted on the inner
workings Of the corrupt gang than any
other man. "He can" says the article,
"tell the most remarkable story, and if
he chooses TO unbosOm himself complete
~ he can give the exact sums of money
paid by every corporation which has been
granted rights or franchises of any sort,
kind or description, by the City Council,
from July, 1884, up to April, 1887. he
can, in word, expose every corrupt deal
entered into by the members Of the
City Council, the officers of ponce
department and other city officials be-
tween the dates named. Astonishing as
1t may seem, however, Mr.. Grinnell hesl-
tates to accept his squeal, and Tor no
other reason than that he thinks he can
convict the whole gang Of city beodlers
without McGarigle. He believes that the
evidence in his possession is strong and
uncontrOvertible, and that he will be
justified in dispensing with any informa-
tion any of the boodlers might be willing
to furnish, and the indications are that
the only squeslers who will be called up
on will be those who were literally driven
into various steals. The pals will
not escape by turning states evidence"
1t is said that the investigation will be
conducted by special grand jury, as
vas the county boodlers cases. An APP
plicstion for special grand jury is to be
made within the next three weeks, and it
is anticipated that sll the indictments
will be returned before the end of the
present month.

Contractors.
CHICAGO, ILL, July 2.-The Times cor.
respondent st Mount Clemens, Mich,
claims to have discovered there yester-
day f. W. Bipper, the "boodle" con-
tractor, whose disappearance from Chi
csgo was noted in these dispatches last
night. Bipper, the correspondent says,
is accompanied by one or two mysterious
looking individuals evidently detectives,
who, it is thought, are taking him on 8
jaunt like that enjoyed by the other con-
tractor, Mic Schneider. Bipper was feel
ing loquacious and talked freely with the
reporter. He said ne would tell all he
knew and probably be on the stand in
Judge Garrison's court as soon as g jury
is secured, He does not wish TO 90 to
Joliet, and has been promised immunity
if he testifes without reserve.
"You see," remarked Bipper, 'lotS of
the Commissioners have squealed Oil

MONTREAL, p. O., July "A fashion
sbly dressed young fellow was to-day
arrested On charge Of fraud and forgery
preferred by the manager of the Windsor
hotel. He arrived about week ago, and
registered a5 7. 2. Hall, New York. He
lived high, spent lots OF money, and
entertained like lord. On Monday he
informed the manager that his name was
not Hall but Walker Blaine, that he was
the eldest son of James g. Blaine, aHd
that his object in registering as he did
was 10 avoid newspaper reporters
and interviewers. He showed a
letter purporting to be from
Blaine, and draft for $1,000.
This he drew against the Bank of Montre-
al. He gave checks signed Walker
Blaine which were cashed at the hotel
and purchased largely of jewelTy through
out the city. Altogether, his frauds foot
up to thousands of dollars. He was
identified by New Workers here as Her
bert Taylor, son of Ethan Taylor of
Worcester, Mass, and as soon as he saw
the game was up, he prepared to skip,
taking passage on an outgoing steamer
for Europe. His flight was nipped in
the bud, and now he is behind the bars.

state exchange, which will have divect
communication with the cotton factories,
both American and transatlantic, and this
exchange will have the control ana dis
posal of all the crop produced by the ALI
ance in Texas. OF course this will be an
establishment larger than sny other in the
state, or perhaps in the United States.
What the large cotton brokers VINO are
here now, whether as spinners or brokers'
agents, sre engaged in will be concen-
trated at one place and carried on by a
set Of chosen officers. When this
system is once adopted, it will
be one step towards making
the state exchange, an enormous depot
for supplies to be furnished the planters
and farmers throughout the state. 1t
will also be step in the direction of
securing factories for the conversion of
the raw material into Understandable pro-
ducts. Thus, it will be seen, that secuT-
ing the location of the state exchange will
result in eyer-incressing benefit to what
ever town secures 1t. Fort Worth has
the friendship of many prominent and
influential members in the Alliance, and
she has many facilities acquired by the
energy and liberality of her citizens, be-
sides her natural advantages, but some
thing more is necessary to insure the
prize. Our town and county now have
this matter under adVisement.

II is gratifying to note that even in the
east there are great public journals that
do not shut their eyes TO the truth about
the south. The Boston Herald says: at
is very pleasant to observe that in tie
discussion of the battle hsg question
almost every expression from the south
is good nstured. The south does not
want the flags; they are ell right
where they are; they are not worth g
hard word or thought This is
the universal sentiment from the south,
snd it shames the perfervid eloquence of
g few northern politicians, with their
theatrical curses and desperate appeals.
Indeed, the discussion has not disturbed
the era of good feeling, but has confirmed
it, by showing how far the south has left
Ike vrar behind in lis new record of prog
ress and how essY it feels in its natural
relations under the old flag.

READING, Pa, July The grand jury
which for two weeks has been investi-
eating the charges Of corruption and mis-
MANAGEMENT against the county officials,
this afternoon presented a scathing report
against the accused officers. They say
that they have indicted ten tax collectors
for retaining over $500 belonging to the
county end using the couuty's funds for
private gain. The county commissioners
and Treasurer are charged by the jury
with gross Criminality in allowing such
state of affairs 90 exist. The commits
sioners' office is denounced as nest Of
corruption, extravaganza and wsnton
waste of public money, and the commits
sioners, the report asserts, gave contracts
to tavorites at eXoTbitant figures, thus
producing grave and conspicuous sus-
piCions of corruption.

reports terrible waterspout on VailrAnch
near there, Monday afternoon.
He and his partner heard terrific roar
resembling an earthquake. They ran to
the bluff overlooking Vail Cienags and
beheld monster watersport coursing
its way down the valley. The valley,
which is fully half mile wide, was COW
cred with water to the depth of fifteen
feet. As the torrent swept through the
valley it carried everything before H.
The cattle therein were lifted up, some
being landed upon q high bank, but most
were carried forward and drowned.
Hundreds OF cattle thus persisted. The
water must have come upwards of fifty
miles, as it overlooked the hoJei and
railroad tracks at Santana before it ex-
hauSted itself.

THE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE.


The Farmers Alliance of the state OF
Texas hiss concluded to select some
central point where g general exchange
will be opened for the purpose Of
handling the entire product of the state
of Texas. There are several cities
making most strenuous efforts to secure
the location Ct this institution, and II
must reasonably be expected that which
ever city makes the best showing and
offers the best inducements will be
chosen. The Alliance members no longer
satisfy themselves with producing the
raw material snd turning it over to the
first purchaser that comes along.
They propose that in addition 10
producing the raw material they will fur.
Their, still, continue in possession until
purchaser can be found who actually
wants the staple for his factory, thus
eliminating the host of middlemen and
saving to the producer all the expense
incurred by the support, maintenance and
profit of these mlddlenen. The leading
members Of the alliance have great faith
in the ultimate success Of their project,
and, while their plans have so far been
wisely concealed from the public
